It’s officially the end of awards season, which means the 98th Academy Awards is hitting our screen tonight (!!). Conan O’Brien is back for another round of hosting duties, and this year’s presenters are nothing short of iconic. The A-listers handing off Oscars at the Dolby Theatre this time around include Anne Hathaway, Chase Infiniti, Nicole Kidman, Mikey Madison, Paul Mescal, Demi Moore, and Pedro Pascal, to name just a few. As for the folks taking the stage for some star-studded performances, we’ve got EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami—aka HUNTR/X—singing KPop Demon Hunters’ “Golden,” and Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq will be joined by special guests to perform Sinners’ “I Lied to You.” That being said, this year’s show isn’t one to miss.
